The Nannybag platform lists more than 10,000 places around the world where to drop off your suitcase to travel with peace of mind.


It's the start of vacation.

The moment to leave the station or the airport with the overflowing desire to discover the long-awaited destination.

Problem, we will have to transport the cinder block on wheels that we use as luggage until we reach the accommodation – not before several hours.

To save travelers from this kind of painful first day, the Nannybag platform has put together a network of places to drop off your suitcase for a few hours or for the day.

Hotels, grocery stores, tobacconists, dry cleaners, souvenir shops, restaurants, computer stores... The site centralizes more than 10,000 lockers in 500 cities, mostly located in France and in major European capitals, but also in North America and some in Thailand and Hong Kong.

You can find more than 200 lockers in Paris, one every 500 meters or so, and nearly 150 in London.

"

Recently, we added addresses on the French coast, in seaside resorts

 ," says Matthieu Ballester, the platform's founder.

Electrical outlet and wifi connection

On the site, all you have to do is click on the location of a partner location to consult its file.

The opening days and times are listed there, which vary greatly depending on the establishment: from a few half-days a week to 24/7.

There are also any services offered in addition to luggage storage, such as the presence of toilets, electrical outlets or wifi connection.

Handy after a long drive!

The luggage is not necessarily put in lockers, but a security seal is affixed to the zipper, and each piece of luggage is insured up to 1000 euros.

Each locker is charged €6 per day and per piece of luggage in euro zone countries.

Half of this sum is paid to the establishment, the other half going to the platform.

This price may vary slightly depending on the destination and the currency in force: 6 pounds sterling in the United Kingdom, 6 dollars in the United States, 10 dollars in Canada or 30 zlotys in Poland.

Each reservation can be canceled free of charge until the time of deposit.

La Poste recently entered the capital of Nannybag via its Pickup subsidiary, which has a total of 70,000 relay points worldwide

 ," says the founder.

A godsend for the platform, which can help it expand its network of addresses.

We are working on a new site for the start of the school year, with new ergonomics and new services

 ,” says Matthieu Ballester.

Nannybag will notably offer a service for sending luggage directly to travelers' vacation spots.

And also...

Other locker networks allow you to find an establishment where you can drop off your luggage.

Bounce offers over 7,000 locations, mostly in North America, for $5.90 per 24 hours with insurance up to $10,000.

Luggage Hero lists addresses in more than 70 cities around the world and allows billing by the hour: one euro per hour for a maximum of 8 euros per day.
